While I appreciate this may not be everyone's cup of tea, I've worked quite hard on this with some friends I met through a random pairing "punk rock lottery" back in October and it's been a fun project and means of getting back into performance and community

What I like about AI is that it exposes a feeling I've had for a while, which is weird to admit for an electronic musician and sound designer, and that's this: art isn't isn't only output. It's making it, sharing it, the history and social context, the rituals for it - dancing, singing, crying etc.

Devil Wears Prada = personal stages of moral and political development. Stage 1: you're young and you are Andy. Stage 2: you're older and you realize Andy's a dick, you empathize with Miranda (who is for sure a dick). Stage 3: you emerge from the crysalis understanding that it's about Stanley Tucci.

there like.. has to be something for music school drop outs etc. who aren't professionals, but can play instruments, and want to play with others just for fun, but play stuff that is compelling music? Like who out there wants to play quartet for the end of time with me in the GTA?

got my clarinet repaired and now I'm unstoppable (if u need a clarinet for anything lmk)

watched blade runner, and blade runner 2049 - a blade runner is like a slave catcher, ICE. Once again I'm realizing that fascists consume media in a mirror world way - where they side with authority. I guess that's why Elon Musk thought his car was the kind they would drive in blade runner.

9 to 5 is an INCREDIBLE MOVIE.

pokémon red and blue if nvidia got their hands on it

uh why do ppl keep saying bad stuff is a distraction from other bad stuff? People can be horrible in more ways than one at a time just because they want to?

every tenth pistachio is disgusting or has a bug in it, and yet here I am munching.

I started talking to a friend about what I'm going through and others around me I love are going through today, and I realized why I've been completely messed up all winter. It has been really fucked up actually.

using kink language to insult fascists, like: 'all right wing men are actually submissive'.. sucks. I don't care about shitty dudes, but it is insulting to kinky ppl and honestly doesn't map onto my experience whatsoever. And btw being submissive isn't secretly un-masculine or whatever so fuck you.

oboists always look batshit insane. There I said it.

awwww fuck me man

train dreams is just a really gorgeous movie

I'm just really tired from not sleeping but I'm gonna say something that I think my boyfriends past and present will not like. I don't like bands with 4-5 guys in them. None of them. I don't like any bands with 4-5 guys in them, and I barely like bands with 3-4 guys and one girl.

two shows that ppl didn't like that much but were really good: brand new cherry flavour, AP bio.

this is well written and clearly lays out a few valuable ideas: www.liberalcurrents.com/swiping-left...

why does every woman on mid/tepid tv (don't judge me, I am SAD this winter) have a job that makes no sense? Like publishing like it's the 90s, podcaster who talks like she's Carrie Bradshaw wondering about stuff, or lifestyle closet organizer or some shit? Do writers know what regular jobs are?

Honestly the amount of guys who just want something casual/no strings/no feelings/no relationships with responsibility or accountability on the apps.. like for real there are some women and certainly other men out there who want that, but also.. just hire sex workers maybe?

sigh.. so the govt was watching everyone, and a cabal of evil pedophiles was doing evil things on a global level. fuck. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

“Notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein played a role in convincing Bobby Kotick to embrace loot boxes, essentially gambling for children” what is this sentence, what is this world

pretty sure I'm hearing chickadees and loon calls on the new season of brigerton - those birds are North American birds you fools!

so uh, 90s moms are 2 for 2 - Marilyn Manson = no good, and violent video games... like call of duty, seem to be a direct influence on ICE and their behaviour.

I learned that my gfs employers told he she can't crochet between calls(she does customer support), they want her to be a little work robot and every action on the clock is work for them and I hate them so much. She crocheted baby blankets for her coworkers. She does it so she CAN focus. ASSHOLES.

"Denji, theyre invoking a contract with the AI Devil!" "Unforgivable! Boobs should be real goddammit

this is why I just picked the therapist who also sounds sad, and who laughed at my jokes a little. But also.. if they're also sad.. maybe that means they aren't a good enough therapist to know how to fix it? I don't know.

going nuts cuz I was talking to a partner about how I feel sad that it's hard for me to make plans with friends, partners, and I joked like: oh they just have so much connection & love already? He said: yea. Like WTF? Are ppl out there overwhelmed by all the attention, affection, and love they have?

oh wow I got the depression kinda bad rn huh. Hasn't been like this in maybe uh... 8 plus years.

Does anyone else kind of increasingly feel like you have no idea what is going on or what anyone is talking about?

it's a little bit fucked up but when I eat a potato my body is like so happy. Meat + potatoes also goes very hard.

wow pollievre is an even bigger tool than I had imagined, and I already imagined he was a huge tool.

I'm gonna brag a little that almost all my xmas gifts were local and/or thrifted. It wasn't even that expensive, most gifts were like $15-20. screw the billionaire-run online stores, they can kick rocks. My partner even crocheted the cutest dinosaur sweater for my nephew!

this part of the plot bugs me because I don't think that good fantasy authors dislike their own work? I think they care a lot and work pretty hard to succeed? I feel like this idea of making art is kind of old, no? Like almost no one is making enough money in any art to do it halfheartedly?

What do you do when you really, truly, cannot stand an immediate family member? I'm trying to channel my mother and be a better person here, but I am just really pissed off.

Thinking about this gay thing I did as a kid, I was mad that girls weren't leads in plays so I auditioned as the prince in the grade 6 play. They let me audition but afterwards a teacher took me aside to say you're best for the part, but you can't play opposite a girl because that's inappropriate.

Is it a bit messed up that I never want to leave my neighbourhood after dark in the winter? Like maybe there are wolves in Yorkville.

10 yrs trying to get care for a medical issue. Doc says we don't do those tests, see a naturopath. Naturopath is $500 after insurance. Go to Doc, she'll only prescribe 1 med out of 2. Go to pharmacy - doc has to fill out a special form and I have to pay $500 up front. We need public pharmacare.

I'm done for the year yessss! I worked on a pretty dang successful game update and I'm feeling pretty good about myself! But also exhausted and simultaneously a bit low. Funny combo ngl :)

fossil fuels are a bit messed up.. like how are dead plants and animals from gazillions of years ago charging my vibrator?

Just advised my gf to take the reins in her punk band, remove the bad punk sounds, and add fun sounds instead. She nodded sagely.

I get monster fucking now. Basically women don't feel seen as full people, so they want another not-a-person to commiserate with who is also hot. Hot and understanding. Unfortunately sometimes the monster is just a monster though, and doesn't see women as full people either.

what is the actual reason Ontarians hate colour and fun in their wardrobe... my partner and I are always called out usually positively for wearing colours. But like.. why don't other people if they seem to like it do it for themselves? I know black and grey are practical.. but all the time?

just emailed a clarinet choir to see if they will let me audition after working 12 hours straight on various explosion sfx. Dear god I need to be around people doing things like touching objects, seeing faces (intermittently, not constantly) etc.

my roommate keeps slightly moving my things. I'm concerned about this behaviour.

I don't often fangirl, but Oscar Isaac tho... variety.com/2025/film/ne...

thinking today about the thing ppl say about conservatives, that they have a higher 'disgust response' or whatever.. And 1st of all, fuck you. 2nd of all - I feel disgust. I feel disgust over the abuse and murder and starvation of children and ppl all over the world. Why isn't that disgust relevant?

Have you seen the nyt article: 'should women have jobs?' What galls me the fucking most is that one of these traitors wrote a book called 'the dignity of dependence' All I can say is my entire life it has only been clear that men depend on women, not the other way around. Everyone depends on women.
